De Lorean EuroTec

Today I took my 2 damaged Delorean wheels to be repaired. Here is a photo of my wheel on the machine, and a video of how they do it. Its amazing how flexible the wheels are. The man also commented on how soft the delorean rims are compared to most cars, he also commented on the hole in the center not being machined very accurately either compared to other wheels!! Yet another example of delorean craftsmanship lol. Anyway they are circle shaped again now and balanced.

Nice one Dan. Was it expensive?

£60 for 2 wheels including taking tires on and off and balancing.

I dont know how much your rims were warped, but that sounds like a good price compared to replacing.

How did your rims become warped then?

Some previous owner drove down a large pot hole I suspect.

Wow what a machine!!!!!!

So Dan, did the car feel better after you had that lot done??

Dan, it's tyres mate, not tires. Before you know it, you'll be telling us you caught the rim on the 'sidewalk'.
